Dear Jesus,
I need You to remind me to be open to others,
to be ready to share my time and resources.
Perhaps the chance to do a simple favor
or common courtesy arises.
Other times may involve helping friends
with serious illness or the loss of a loved one.
The needs of community, country or creation
may evoke a response.
All in all, I need to follow Your self-giving love.
Amen.
— By Columban Fr. John Comiskey
